Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost Of Tom Joad - Sözleri

Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks 

Goin' someplace there's no goin' back 

Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge 



Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge 

Shelter line stretchin' 'round the corner 

Welcome to the new world order 

Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest 

No home no job no peace no rest 



The highway is alive tonight 

But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes 

I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light 

Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad 



He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag 

Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag 

Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last 

In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass 

Got a one-way ticket to the promised land 

You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand 

Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock 

Bathin' in the city aqueduct 



The highway is alive tonight 

Where it's headed everybody knows 

I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light 

Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad 



Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy 

Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries 

Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air 

Look for me Mom I'll be there 

Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand 

Or decent job or a helpin' hand 

Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free 

Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me." 



Well the highway is alive tonight 

But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes 

I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light 

With the ghost of old Tom Joad
